Sadie. 

After dance was class. Three and a half hours with my private teacher then I had another two hours of dance -- this time with a partner. Afterwards, I could finally return home. Though it was something I avoided like a routine.

Caleb picked me up as soon as I arrived at my house. Like clockwork, we really never spent time at the Sink's.

"Hey," I mumbled, climbing into his car. I craned my neck to give him a kiss but he stopped me.

"You're gonna wear that to the party?" He asked.

I frowned.  "What party?" He didn't reply, simply pulled out his phone and began scrolling. I shook my head, reaching for his hand.

"What are you-" I began. He handed me his phone. It was a text conversation we'd had a week ago.

Caleb: Party at Jack's next friday. Be my plus one ;)

Sadie: If I have to

Caleb: Oh come on, we never do anything social anymore

Sadie: fine. You owe me. :P

Caleb: Love youuuu

Caleb: Don't forget like you did last time.

Sadie: I won't

I sighed. Right. "Are you actually mad that I forgot some stupid party?" I made a face.

Caleb began driving, looking pensive as he steered the wheel. I gaped at him, he really can't be serious. I began to laugh. I couldn't help it, I bent over laughing like I'd never laughed before. I watched him in the corner of my eye, his expression was slowly changing.

He had that look on his face like the one he does when I call him cute. He was trying too hard not to smile and I knew my charm was getting me somewhere.

"You're mad," I laughed, poking his cheek with my finger. "You're mad that I forgot about a party."

He couldn't keep it up for long enough, he broke out laughing as well. There it is.

"Okay, okay." Caleb shook his head, faux annoyed. "It is pretty ridiculous. But you said you wouldn't forget this time."

"You can't expect me to remember a stupid party in Hollywood." I crossed my arms. "I hate Hollywood. You know that."

Caleb drove down the freeway, glancing at me for a second. "You hate everyone."

I nodded, taking note of all the people I didn't want to run into anytime soon. "That's true. Jack's my bubby, though."

"All the more reason for you to go to the party." Caleb reasoned. Realization hit me, though.

"Wait, you said you didn't like my outfit. Ass." I scoffed playfully.

"I knew you'd forget," Caleb smirked. "I have an outfit ready at  my place."

"My, what would I do without you?" I teased. Caleb rolled his eyes.

"We'll never have to find out."
